"Renewable Energy" -- a kid's-lemonade-stand business model, "batteries not included".
* * *
I don't care about global warming.
I'm not going to impoverish myself by 25% in order to "fight global warming"?
What are the consequences of global warming?
1) A 1-2 degree increase in average temperature: I don't care. I can deal with that by turning down the temperature on the AC thermostat (and I prefer milder winters).
2) A 1.2 inches per decade rise in sea level: again, I don't care becuase:
a) Most people live well enough above that for that to be of any concern to anyone alive today.
b) In 100 years time, this may be a concern for people living on beachfront property, but they are the most wealthy people among us and I'm not impoverishing myself by 25% to preserve their vacation homes. Coastal cities that haven't already built their waterfronts to handle a 1.2 foot rise in sea level have 100 years to deal with the problem.
c) Poor and low lying subsistence agricultural lands have a tough row to hoe, but sea levels have been rising for more than 100 years, and their circumstances would be better improved by moving out of subsistence agriculture and into higher value added (and mobile) occupations.
3) Oceans becoming less basic (currently 8.1 pH; 7.0 is neutral, i.e. tap water): again, I don't care. a) I don't care if clam shells become more fragile at this level of pH. b) I find it preposterous to hear that clams, with billions of years of evolution behind them in a hostile environment (sea water), can't handle a 0.1 decrease in basic ("alkaline", not "acidic") pH -- which is a movement toward neutral, i.e. "fresh" water. [The term "ocean ACIDITY" is used by climate hustlers to incite fear for political and personal gain.]
Have I missed anything? Melting glaciers? Sorry, I'm not impoverishing myself by 25% over receding glaciers.
Sorry, but I don't care. The costs and power grabs behind this issue are astounding. So are the lottery-ticket benefits, unless you are in on the scam: the politicians, enforcers, and renewable energy opportunists.
If you feel so strongly about global warming, you should lobby for THORIUM MOLTEN SALT REACTORS -- not only for electricity, but for manufacturing synthetic gasoline -- all carbon neutral.

1) there is nothing unusual happening with the climate. (Please explain the Little Ice Age and the Medieval Warm Period.) The co2 climate quacks can't, so they airbrush it OUT of the record. (”Hide the decline!"; "We have to get rid of the Medieval Warm Period."). HENRIK SVENSMARK and others have a cosmic-ray/solar-flares explanation that (when combined with malankovic and volcano/meteors) explains ALL the climate change we observe. Co2 is irrelevant in earth climate.
2) there is nothing wrong with burning fossil fuels. Its problems in high-density areas are trivial to fix and already have been fixed. CO2 is not a pollutant.
3) Climate alarmism is a big-lie superstition supported by tax-bribed liars. (See Climate Discussion Nexus for 100s of videos on climate quackery, deception, and realism.)
4) decarbonization is 21st century pyramid building and human sacrifice.
5) there is NO excuse for expensive electricity. Electricity generation is boring. Just burn coal and scrub the smoke in densely populated areas.
6) the only challenge is manufacturing market quantities of cheap gasoline. South Africa has already done this for decades (Sasol), using coal.
7) Elon Musk: the Laptop Class is in La-La Land.
8) The "greenhouse effect"is a fraud. There's no such thing. The fraud is based on the the interaction between certain specific-wavelength photons and the CO2 molecule IN A VACUUM, i.e., no other molecules are bumping into it. (I.e., what happens with the filament in lightbulb.). But that's not what happens in the atmosphere because the atmosphere is not a vacuum.
See Ott's "New Perspective on Atmosphere Heat Transfer"
See the "Abuse of the Boltzman Black Body Radiation Model"
What happens with photons and CO2 in the atmosphere is as follows:
- the CO2 molecule absorbs a certain specific-wavelength photon,
- it gets kicked up to a higher/unstable energy level,
- it collides with another O2 or N2 molecule (99% of the atmosphere), and the photon's energy is transferred to the O2/N2 molecular as heat, like the rest of the sun's energy we experience as heat.
- the heated O2/N2 molecule joins the atmosphere's heat conveyor to the upper atmosphere and elsewhere. We call that "weather". There's not climatological problem with CO2 in the atmosphere. CO2 is not a pollutant nor a "greenhouse gas".
* * *
"Renewable energy" is 21st Century pyramid building (besides being a Kid's Lemonade Stand business model). It's ridiculous.
